    摘要: Improved apparatus and methods for forming a layer of material over a surface of a previously-formed cross-section of a three-dimensional object in anticipation of forming a next cross-section of the object out of the layer. A volume of material, including at least some excess material, is placed over the surface, and the excess material is swept off by placing the excess material in the predetermined path of a sweeping member, the path being substantially in a plane spaced from a working surface of material. The member may be directed to sweep the excess material away through a successive number of sweeps, which may vary for each cross-section, at least a velocity which may vary for each sweep. Additionally, the clearance between the member and the surface of the previous cross-section may vary for each sweep. A "winged" member is also provided, comprising two legs extending from a base, and a "Trident" embodiment is also provided, comprising three legs extending from a base.

    摘要: Treatment of substrates, formation of structures, and formation of multilayer structures using contact masks are disclosed where a non-parallel or non-simultaneous mating of various mask contact surfaces to a substrate surface occurs. Some embodiments involve bringing a relative planar mask contact surface and a relative planar substrate surface together at a small angle (but larger than an alignment tolerance associated with the system). Some embodiments involve flexing a mask to make it non-planar and bringing it into contact with a substrate such that progressively more contact between the mask and substrate occur until complete mating is achieved. Some embodiments involve use of gas or liquid pressure to bow a flexible or semi-flexible mask and use a linear actuator to bring the mating surfaces together and to bring the mask into a more planar configuration.

    摘要: Multilayer structures are electrochemically fabricated via depositions of one or more materials in a plurality of overlaying and adhered layers. Selectivity of deposition is obtained via a multi-cell controllable mask. Alternatively, net selective deposition is obtained via a blanket deposition and a selective removal of material via a multi-cell mask. Individual cells of the mask may contain electrodes comprising depositable material or electrodes capable of receiving etched material from a substrate. Alternatively, individual cells may include passages that allow or inhibit ion flow between a substrate and an external electrode and that include electrodes or other control elements that can be used to selectively allow or inhibit ion flow and thus inhibit significant deposition or etching. Single cell masks having a cell size that is smaller or equal to the desired deposition resolution may also be used to form structures.

    摘要: Multi-layer structures are electrochemically formed on porous dielectric substrates. In some embodiments, the substrates have at least one surface which is infiltrated with a sacrificial conductive material, all pores (e.g. openings in between dielectric regions of the substrate) or selected pores near the surface of the substrate are opened, and a structural material is deposited to fill at least a portion of the opened pores. If more pores are opened than have been filled or will be filled by the structural material a sacrificial material may be deposited to fill the additional pores. After completing formation of an initial patterned surface on the substrate, a plurality of layers are formed on the substrate (e.g. via electrodeposition operations) and after layer formation is complete, the conductive sacrificial material filling the pores is removed.

    摘要: An electrochemical fabrication process produces three-dimensional structures (e.g. components or devices) from a plurality of layers of deposited materials wherein the formation of at least some portions of some layers are produced by operations that remove material or condition selected surfaces of a deposited material. In some embodiments, removal or conditioning operations are varied between layers or between different portions of a layer such that different surface qualities are obtained. In other embodiments varying surface quality may be obtained without varying removal or conditioning operations but instead by relying on differential interaction between removal or conditioning operations and different materials encountered by these operations.
